A big "Ditto" to Jims instructions. Now to your question " Does this wire just need to go to the a wire wound resistor to ground?"
If theres no (as normal) F terminal as on an old original Cutout Relay,,,,,,, And you dont have a full fledged 3 or 4 terminal Voltage Regulator with the F terminal,,,,,,,,And theres no LHDB light switch to wire to the gennys FLD post,,,,,YES a wire from the Gennys FLD post attached to frame ground via say around a 3 ohm series power resistor will allow the genny to charge. The less resistanee the higher the charge, but if its too small (like a dead ground) the battery could theoretically overcharge if you ran for hours not using any lights and had a good strong genny. If you go buy power resistors Id try say a 2 and 3 and 4 ohm and use the one (or combinations) that made her charge maybe 5 to 10 amps at fast RPM, although 10 amps for hours at a time with no lights may be too much???
YOU SAY
I guess I have a "cut out style" generator as it has a box mounted on the side of the generator.
I SAY
If it has ONLY 2 terminals, BAT and GEN/ARM yes its a Cutout Relay
If it has 3 terminals BAT GEN/ARM and F and only has one internal coil and a wirewound resistior in the F circuit to ground,,Its an original Cutout Relay (wire gennys FLD to F)
If it has 3 terminals (BAT GEN FLD) and 2 internal coils its a Voltage Regulator (wire FLD to F)
There,,,,with this and Jims post you should be able to figure her out

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
